Welcome to the American Group Psychotherapy Association's website. Our organization is an interdisciplinary community that has been enhancing practice, theory and research of group therapy since 1942. AGPA provides the support you are looking for to enhance your work as a mental healthcare professional or your life as a member of a therapeutic group.

"Strong Group Foundations: Building Lasting Communities" is the theme for the AGPA 2009 Annual Meeting to be held in Chicago, Illinois, February 16-21. You are invited to register for what promises to be a rewarding experience both personally and professionally.

The New York City Health Department is offering an insurance-like benefit to help cover mental health and substance-use treatment for NYC residents still affected by the terrorist events of September 11, 2001. Click here for more information.

New! AGPA releases "Practice Guidelines for Group Psychotherapy," a cross-theoretical guide to developing and leading psychotherapy groups.
